chasing monkeys and dreams in the jungle:
Curious to know what your first real long-term field experience might be like?
Follow my former student Melanie (La Suerte, summer 2012) as she begins her first real field assistantship: 5 months studying anti-predator behavior and vocalizations in the white-handed gibbons of Khao Yai National Park in Thailand
(and yes, she acknowledges that gibbons are not, in fact, monkeys…).
Her blog is already off to a most excellent start: plenty of gibbon photos, predator experiments, and great pictures of a cobra trying to eat another snake!
Hardcore, Melanie. Â Keep your feet dry, and keep up the awesome work!
